Episode 44 - Why Writing Matters (and How to Do It!)

We live in an age where it's never been easier to be a writer! Resources, opportunities, and platforms now abound for people to make an impact through the written word. How might creative writing offer fresh and interesting approaches to mission in our time? What can we learn from previous writers about the use of story? And how can we embrace these approaches whilst staying faithful to the Gospel? In this episode, Aaron and Andy, who both recently published books, discuss what inspires them to write, what tips they've picked up along the way, and how you too might begin to influence others through your use of words, whether or not you'd call yourself a writer. ** Please consider supporting Pod of the Gaps: http://patreon.com/wkop ** RESOURCES: - Anne Lammott, 'Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life' (Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 1995) - Andrew Peterson, 'Adorning the Dark: Thoughts on Community, Calling, and the Mystery of Making' (B and H Books, 2019) - Douglas Wilson, 'Wordsmithy: Hot Tips for the Writing Life' (Canon Press, 2011) - https://www.cliffcollege.ac.uk/courses/pathway/literature-theology-culture-ltc
